Hugo Lloris found the idea of any Tottenham Hotspur players leaving for the riches of China’s Super League to be a rather amusing one.

With the likes of Oscar, Hulk, Ramires and Carlos Tevez having all made the move across to China on enormous wages, and Chelsea striker Diego Costa reportedly the subject of another mega bid, there has been speculation that the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli are also on Chinese clubs’ most wanted lists.

The squad at Spurs though are a tight-knit one under Mauricio Pochettino and Lloris let out a hearty laugh when asked whether any of his team-mates might head across the globe to the growing new league.

“No, no. I don’t think so,” he said. “We are all enjoying our time, it’s an exciting time at Tottenham.

“We need to enjoy it, keep working and we will see what we’re going to do at the end of the season and what we can achieve.

He added: “One thing I really like about Tottenham is that there is not really a big star. We are all working for the team, we respect the team, the team and the club is higher than any players in the team. It works well at the moment so we need to carry on.”

Tottenham are in great form at the moment with seven victories in a row and some of the passing in the 4-0 victory against West Brom was spellbinding. Much of Spurs’ play comes through Lloris at the back and out through the three centre-backs.

“That’s about concentration and the way we work every day. Even under pressure that is our football style and we need to respect that,” said the goalkeeper.

“The gaffer demands that we keep playing on the floor as much as possible and when there is a lot of movement around me it helps me a lot, like today. In the first half West Brom were so deep and that helped our team a lot to build up from the back.”

Lloris was also asked about France team-mate Dimitri Payet, who West Ham boss Slaven Bilic claims is refusing to play for the club.

“I love Dimitri, he is a fantastic player. I don’t know what will happen at West Ham because I’m focused on my club, my team-mates, my team,” said. Lloris.

“That is the most important thing for me at the moment. For Dimitri, I don’t know, it’s not my business. We can’t know what will happen.”
